Swarvoski Earrings

Ummmm this tutorial might be a little difficult to explain so bear with me as i explain...and if you have the patience to listen :D

Things you need:

1. Pack of swarvoski beads (mine came in a pack of 14, bought at Michael)
2. Earring hooks
3. Silver chain
4. Eye pins
5. Pen or something round

Instructions:

1. Thread the beads through the eye pins (as many as you want on each strand), but leave some wire space.
2. Using the left over wire, bend it around your pen or something round to create a hoop.
3. Determine how long you want your earring to dangle and cut the chain to correspond with it; attach it to the earring hooks.
4. Attach your strands on the chain one by one at different levels to your preference. 

And they're ready to wear!

Hoops on hoops

Yea so i'm just going to post everything at once...sorry Susanna :P So here's just a simple way to re vamp your hoop earrings. All you need are 6 silver and gold circle chain links and a pair of hoop earrings. For each hoop earring, just put on 1 silver, 1 gold and repeat 3 times, and do the same for the other earring. Its simple!!!

Elastic Grip

Hey guys so i know its been a while since we posted something new, so here it is. Introducing...the elastic grip!!! yay....yea i'm over it. So this is how you can use a thick elastic like from when you buy broccoli, etc to put around your ipod as a case. It technically works the same as a silicone case to get a better grip at the sides. Just take a look at the photos below...

Mancala Madness!

Hey guys, Susanna here!

So, I recently learned how to play the game Mancala and since I don't have the game board, I made my own! There are no directions really on how to make it, just grab whatever makes borders and for the pieces, you can use anything. I suggest using coins since everybody has them.

Half a heart?

Hey guys. This post is a DIY craft i mzde for my parents for their anniversary...but i guess it also works well as a Valentine's Day gift. Just a heads up thoug, you'll need to know how to do a alpha style friendship bracelet...let's get started

Things you'll need:

1. Two magnets that are the same size
2. Embrodiery floss (as many colours you want)
3. Drawing of the pattern/layout

Instructions:

1. Using the alpha style technic, start making the half of the heart.
2. Once you finish making the heart, continue with the background string.
3. Once you reach the length of the magnet, continue so that it can wrap around the whole magnet lengthwise.
4. Knot and cut the remaining strands of string.
5. Take another two strands as the base string and using your backgroud string, keep knotting over them back and fourth. This is used as the endge of your magnet, so it should wrap around the top, bottom, and one side of your magnet.
6. Sew the two pieces together and glue your magnet inside.
7. Repeat for the other half of the heart.

It should look something like this....
